That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Dryer Vent Cleaning Across West Palm Beach
Dryer vent cleaning in West Palm Beach typically runs $150 – $275 for a standard residential system, and most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes from arrival to final airflow test. If your dryer is taking two cycles to finish a load, or if you smell mustiness behind the laundry unit, you’re not dealing with a worn-out appliance – you’re likely looking at a blocked vent that needs professional cleaning.
We’ve been working in West Palm Beach long enough to know the local housing stock inside and out. From the historic bungalows in Flamingo Park to the mid-century ranches north of Okeechobee Boulevard, and the newer construction around CityPlace, we see the same pattern: decades of lint accumulation combined with our subtropical humidity creates vent blockages that standard brushes can’t touch. Our crews dispatch from the Miami office and serve West Palm Beach directly – no third-party subcontractors, no mystery technicians. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Dryer Vent Cleaning Company
West Palm Beach homeowners call us because we’ve built a reputation on showing up when we said we would and pricing the job in writing before we touch anything. The Garrison Standard means our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and accountable – not a rotating cast of day laborers.
Our customers in neighborhoods like El Cid and Northwood tell us the same thing: previous crews quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. That doesn’t happen here. The price we write down before work begins is the price you pay. If we find a disconnected galvanized run or a crushed transition hose that needs repair, we’ll show you the camera footage and quote the fix separately – no surprises, no pressure.
Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office, and crews serve West Palm Beach with the same discipline we bring to every job: arrive inside the window, price in writing, complete the work by the book, leave the site clean. Every repair and cleaning is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise – if the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach
Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach covers multi-unit laundry facilities, property management portfolios, and commercial laundromats where high-volume drying creates accelerated lint buildup and elevated fire risk. These systems run longer cycles than residential units, often with longer vent runs through shared walls or roof assemblies, and they require inspection and cleaning on a tighter maintenance schedule. In West Palm Beach, commercial dryer vent cleaning typically runs $200 – $450 per unit depending on run length, access difficulty, and whether the system needs rerouting or cap replacement.
Multi-Unit Property Maintenance
Property managers in West Palm Beach condo buildings along Flagler Drive and throughout the downtown corridor rely on scheduled commercial cleanings to stay ahead of insurance requirements and fire code compliance. We document every job with before-and-after photos and written airflow readings, so you have a paper trail if your insurer or fire marshal asks.
High-Volume Lint Removal
Commercial laundromats and hospitality laundry rooms generate lint density that residential systems never see. Our Nikro negative-air machines pull loosened debris out of the vent run under controlled suction, rather than blowing it into the machine room or adjacent spaces. We pair this with rotary agitation tools that break up compacted lint without damaging the ductwork.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in West Palm Beach
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in West Palm Beach means more than running a brush through the vent. In this climate, we routinely find moisture-compacted lint that has hardened into a nearly solid plug, disconnected galvanized runs in older homes, and hurricane-saturated attic ductwork harboring mold. A standard residential cleaning runs $150 – $275; if we find water damage, disconnected runs, or need to install a bird guard or replace a vent cap, repair work is quoted separately with your approval.
Camera Inspection and Diagnosis
We start every residential job with a camera run through the vent. In West Palm Beach’s older homes, this often reveals the real problem: a joint separated behind drywall, a transition hose crushed by the dryer being pushed back, or a galvanized run corroded through from decades of humid exhaust. You see what we see. Then we explain what needs cleaning, what needs repair, and what it costs.
Antimicrobial Treatment for Humid Climates
When hurricane season or a heavy summer storm has soaked attic vent runs, cleaning alone isn’t enough. We apply antimicrobial treatment to affected ductwork and place moisture sensors in problem areas. This isn’t an upsell – in West Palm Beach’s climate, it’s the difference between a fix that lasts and a mold problem that returns in six weeks.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
Our equipment roster includes Rotobrush rotary brush systems for mechanical agitation, Nikro negative-air machines for controlled debris extraction, and filtration and treatment products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies. These are the same tools commercial crews use, not hardware-store attachments. We stock replacement vent caps, bird guards, and smooth metal transition hoses locally, so most West Palm Beach jobs that need parts don’t wait on shipping. When we quote a repair, we tell you whether the component is on the truck or needs ordering – no phantom delays, no vague “we’ll call you when it comes in.”
Common Dryer Vent Cleaning Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Original galvanized runs deteriorated or disconnected. In historic districts like Flamingo Park and El Cid, 1940s and 1950s homes often have original galvanized dryer vent runs that have corroded at joints or separated entirely, dumping lint into wall cavities and crawlspaces where it becomes both a fire hazard and a mold food source.
- Humidity-driven condensation mats lint into a solid plug. West Palm Beach’s year-round humidity causes exhaust to condense inside the vent, turning loose lint into a dense, sticky mass that restricts airflow and that a standard brush often glides past without dislodging.
- Hurricane and storm water intrusion in attic runs. After heavy storms, roof leaks or soffit vents can saturate attic dryer vent insulation and ductwork, creating a hidden mold problem that requires not just cleaning but antimicrobial treatment and moisture assessment.
- Crushed or kinked transition hoses behind the dryer. Homeowners pushing dryers back against the wall frequently crush the flexible aluminum transition hose, creating an immediate blockage point that traps lint and forces the dryer to overheat.
Pricing for Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach, FL
A standard residential dryer vent cleaning in West Palm Beach runs $150 – $275. This covers inspection with camera, mechanical agitation and negative-air extraction of the full vent run, airflow test before and after, and written documentation of the work. If we find a disconnected or deteriorated run that needs reconnection or replacement, repair work typically adds $100 – $250 depending on access difficulty and materials. Bird guard installation runs $75 – $150; vent cap replacement $50 – $125.
What affects your price: length of the vent run, whether it travels through an attic or crawlspace, the condition of existing materials, and whether water intrusion or mold requires antimicrobial treatment. We do not quote per-vent or per-foot pricing that balloons once we’re on site. The price is written down before work starts, and it does not move at the door. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate – we’ll ask about your home’s age, dryer location, and any symptoms you’ve noticed, then give you a firm range with no obligation.

FAQs About Dryer Vent Cleaning in West Palm Beach
Restricted airflow from lint buildup is the most common cause. In West Palm Beach, humidity compounds the problem: moisture in the exhaust condenses inside the vent, matting lint into a dense plug that standard brushing often misses. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll camera-inspect the run to find the exact blockage point.
Yes. Heavy storms and hurricanes can force water through roof vents or soffit openings into attic dryer vent runs, soaking lint into a moldy, fire-prone mass that requires professional cleaning, antimicrobial treatment, and moisture assessment. If you’ve noticed musty smells from your laundry area after a storm, schedule an inspection.
Every 12 to 18 months for typical residential use, and every 6 to 12 months if you do heavy laundry volumes or have a long vent run through an attic. West Palm Beach’s humidity means lint compacts faster here than in drier climates, so err toward the shorter interval if your dryer shows any performance decline.
Failure to clean the vent is the leading cause of dryer fires nationwide. Lint is highly combustible, and a blocked vent forces the dryer to overheat. Professional cleaning removes the fuel source and restores proper exhaust temperatures. In West Palm Beach, where humidity-dampened lint can form dense blockages, thorough extraction is especially critical.
Yes, when water intrusion or visible mold is present. After hurricane season or heavy storms, we frequently find attic vent runs that need more than mechanical cleaning. We apply antimicrobial treatment and place moisture sensors to confirm the problem is resolved, not just covered up. This is included in our repair quote when needed, never pushed as an add-on.
